Hi!
I have found things like this, in example:
$(var.SampParentDir)
But I haven't been successful in finding information about it. Can
anyone point me in the direction where to read up about this or explain
it please. How do I "declare it", init it
Regards

It's not a bug in WiX, AFAIK.

If the custom action isn't marked Impersonate="yes" MSI runs it as the

In my Wix, I searched for the registry to find the path for a exe, I then call

The custom action worked fine when running the msi from my local machine -

The condition on each component is indeed 'VersionNT <= 500 or Version9X'.
This means the component is _only_ installed on Windows 2000 or lower, or on
Windows 98. It is not the same as a launch condition, where the condition
must be true for the installation to proceed.
As you discovered, the com
Can you clarify your question? Are you asking how to reference a directory

Thanks for the reply Mike. I am using version 3.0.2911.0. A colleague of
mine pointed out what the problem might be on the bug tracker, but
apparently the fix hasn't been pushed up to v3 yet.

Yes, you're breaking rule 1 of the component rules: a file installed to the
same location must always belong to the same component and have the same
GUID. Change the GUID, it's a new component; change the component, you must
change the final path name of the file. If you don't, you mess up Windows
We do something similar to this with a tool based on mallow, this is in
turn based on tallow but it has one big advantage, it maintains the
guids for files already added to the output wxs files.
A quick Google should locate the mallow source if you are interested.
